Welcome Coma
Chiptune melodies falling into a mess of ambience, noise and everything in between.

An old Magnetic Fields song, replayed and distorted to sound like a new Magnetic Fields song.

And now for something completely different... this is a somewhat experimental instrumental track featuring pulsing soft noise, soft organs and a distorted xylophone, fake sitar, and off-key distant "singing."

I'm a piece of hell, burning like a champ. I'm in love with you. I don't know exactly what you're supposed to do about it.
(it's a touch noisy)

I think this has potential, I just don't really know where to go with it. So for the moment, I'm posting it and moving on.

This comes from my noise/rock opera which is still unfinished.
Our protagonist realizes that he can survive and function without belief

A collaboration with non-mefite Riadsala, who sometimes records bass for me. This is a pretty strange track, with a lot of effects going on, with a weirdish tempo change into the chorus which is backed by something in the vein of guitar shredding.

This is a song i've been trying to put together for a year or two now. It uses my usual punk + x formula, where here, x = rawhide. The second half is big, noisy, and was tons of fun to make. I"m kinda fond of the lyrics Hope you enjoy. lyrics inside

just a random idea i had. droning synth with vocals.

Featuring Daniel Johnston (yes,
that Daniel Johnston), Jad Fair, and item. Contains a bit of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', and may hold the world's record for the most number of musical bridges ever in a song.

I wrote and recorded this today - it's basically a stream-of-consciousness account of one of the stranger and more entertaining parties I've attended.

More noise rock from my defunct band, struction.

Many layers of distortion and sampling create a blanket of noise that I find beautiful and terrifying. Please to be playing this as loud as possible.

Ever been in a french train station ? Recorded as I was coming back from playing with Edouard (whose amplified saxophone is included). NOISE 20 secs into the recording (that's for humannaire) - but it ends as smooth as usual (guitar outro). Bits of usual threatening, complaining, philosophing... in french (and english).

Recorded live at the opening night of Godzilla 2000 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA, then mixed down in Vancouver in 2005. HEADS UP: Sudden LOUD!

Sorry it's a little quick and dirty. I wrote this poem a few weeks back, and it seemed like today was a good day to record it in some fashion. Dedicated to Kurt, who's up in heaven now.
About the song: It's just spoken word which i put over a little song i wrote in high school called "so it goes." It get's kinda noisy in parts, especially the outro. Hope you enjoy.

This is essentially a remix of
The Dark Room. It's robotic, entrancing, and a little creepy if you play it really loud. The only real quality of this track that holds it to the original is our surprise guest named Flute. And maybe a pad or something. I can't really remember.

I'm thinking this will be the outro to my first album, or possibly come right before the final song.

I was in Amsterdam in 1995 and found an old Billie Holiday bootleg CD. Years later I found an interesting sample on there and imported it into the totally awesome audio program....SoundEdit16. Stretched it, pulled it, squished it, doubled it and looped it. This is the end result in all of its 16bit glory. I originally released this under the name Skycraft. By "release" I mean I burned 10 copies in 1999 and gave it to Ray at The Quaker Goes Deaf in Chicago and a bunch of friends. 10 Blank CDs cost a lot back then.
posted on Dec 11, 2006 - View this threadEvil (Rollercoaster Project remix)
This is an
extremely remixed version of
Evil by Interpol. It was produced by my friend and label-mate
The Rollercoaster Project, whose music is guitar-driven experimental electronica. If you like this, you can download a couple of tracks from
his debut album (sadly now sold out) or download the title track from his
upcoming single (and purchase it). I'd love to hear what you think. He has a few more (unrecognizable!) remixes, which I'd be happy to post.

I did this about 7 years ago in my old apartment on W. Fullerton in Chicago. I used to play under the name Skycraft. It has a break I lifted from Little Miss Lover and then I chopped it up in ProTools. Guitar played through ring modulator into an amp covered with aluminum foil. Enjoy.

The second in a series of songs i've remastered for a short [50 copy] run of my favorite tracks from 2002-2006. This one is a little more experimental and insomnia-fueled than
the last one i posted, but not completely abandoning the previous emphasis on melody and atmosphere. See inside for more.

Whirring, humming, clicking, wheezing dark ambient/glitch, from my new album,
Unseen.

Strong on feedback and complex drum patterns in quite the krauty way. Dissolves in a beautiful crystalline feedback ending.

Some nasty noise, integrating samples composed from segments of executable files, spectral synthesis, and other bad sounding stuff.

From Struction's yet to be released full length. Two guitars and drums.

Dark ambience with strange, swelling synths. Okay, I admit it, I can't even remember
recording this track.

My second band, Brevator, improvised this for a sound check while recording. We liked it so much we ended up keeping it.

Drone - 2005.03.29
Here's one of my earlier experiments in drone music. It's electric guitar, played live through delay, fuzz and volume pedals.

I love evolving a feeling or a story out of feedback. This uses the free
DFX Transverb plug with Ableton Live, where I set up various send channels to feed on and eventually destroy each other.

Improvised sludge-rock by three people who'd never played together before. Stereo-action guitar pyrotechnics by nylon.

Is it melodic? Is it percussive? Is it industrial? Is it ambient? It is a mystery! A noise-filled mystery.
(For further mysteries, look here.)
posted on Jul 1, 2006 - View this threadEngine Soundtrack
An early (circa 1999) experiment with fuzzed out guitars and a super-compressed mix, pushing ambient towards industrial. Psycho-shoegazer?

cloeburner and I used to be in an improv noise rock band called cloeburner. When I listen to this song, I think of a majestic bald eagle, sinking slowly into a pool of lava and contemplating its own mortality. I hope you will, too.
